OUR WEALTHY MEN.

Much has been said in newspapers OF
Geu who have made large fortunes in
com paratively Il few years In various
business Industries. Many of these
articles are written by correspondents of
prominent newspapers, and copied into
others of lesser note. Correspondents
generally are seldom men of business
qualifications and wrongfuIly picture
these men and their business as thing
IF accident: this ID not the case with
thoss we have met. We find that where
men have made large fortunes by their
own business talent aud industry they
chose with sagacity and forethought such
businesses as would lead TO success when
handled with business Judgment. No
man has been brought before the public
as an example of success, both in wealth
and magnitude of his business (outside

OSCILLATIONS OF THE EARTH'S
CRUST.

First among these oscillations of the
earth we may notice the slow up or down
movements which are probably OF the
same general nature and of the same ORR
| gin as the movements which build the
continents, only much more rapii; so
rapid. indeed, that they may be observed
from decade to decade, or, at least, from
century to century. In this class We in
Guide the down-sinking of the coast of
| New Jersey, the uprising OF the northern
| part of Scandinavia, or the oscillation of
| the shore on the Bay of Naples. These
movements which, though in a geologi-
cal sense rapid, rarely change the level
| of the land more than a foot or two III q
! century, appear to be divided into three
distinct classes as follows: First, those
which are due to the imposition of a
| heavy weight upon the earth's surface,
or to the removal of such q weight
| A good case of this is the deep depres-
sion of the northern part of North Ameri
ca, where the glacial sheet came upon it.,
aud its rapid re-eleyation when the ice
melted away. Next, those which are due
| to the formation of great fault or break
| through the rocks as they are showed
about by the compressive forces which
1
| build mountain chains. And, finally,
those which are due to the movements
of volcanic gases aud the lava which they
| propel toward the crater, whence, Ill
time, they are to be discharged.
OF these slow movements the most IN
terestiug, because the best known, is
that which is shown by the ruins of the
temple of Jupiter Scraps, near Naples.
We see by the evidence of these ruins
that the temple has sunk down since the
| Christian era, so that the marine animals
| bored into the marble columns at the
height of more than twenty feet above
| the present level of the sea; it then rose
up to it's original level, and is now again
| sinking at the rate Of one inch in three
| or four years. A similar movement con
nected with the process of mountain
| building haze been observed at Subaco,
about forty miles to the north Of Rome
A hundred years or 80 ago the church of
Jenne was invisible from Subiaco, while
now it is in plain view over the summit
of the intervening mountain. This
change can only be explained by an al
iteration in the height of the mountain
arches of this district. From "The
Stability of the Earth" in Scribner's
Magazine for March.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS

It is the duty of every person who has
used BOschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Conghs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia,
and in fact all throat and lung diseases.
No person can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
constructive, al leas: to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine as the Ger
man Syrup cannot be too widely known
Ask your druggist about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular
size, Is cents. Sold by all Druggists
and Dealers, in the United States and
Canada. nov11

"Stay here, boys, until see what's

shot gun which he had just loaded with
buck shot.
Tten he started out. I learned after
ward that he went straight for the old
quartz mill, but before we got there the
meeting was over, and he met about
thirty OF the vigilance committee on their
way back to camp. :,
fHallo, Frank. What's the matter?'
called out one of the lynchers when they
saw him standing gun in hand on the
board side-w walk.
"Get into the middle OF the street, y
was the editors reply. "Get there or
I'll fill you full of air holes. You're not
fit to walk on the same side OF the street
with me, and by heavens you shan't."
The committee thought it was wise TO
obey. and they took the middle OF the
road.

He waited, true to his word; but, al

that il IS practicable to heat passenger

This plan has been introduced on several

roads CT New York city. The expert
ment has proved so satisfactory that the
New York Central has ordered trsid

and will probably adopt the system on
all its trains. Western railway officials
are investigating the subject with d good
deal of care, and appear to be quite con
fident that safe and adequate substitute
either steam heating or something else
can be found for the car stove. If the
recent railroad accidents, whose horrors
were multiplied ten fold by this Internal
engine of destruction, shall result in its
disappearance, the frightful sacrifice of
life they involve will not have been
in vain.
